There are many many success books. Health, diet, finance, relationships, etc, etc. You name it there is a bunch of books, ebooks, videos, courses and seminars.

Keep on your success course. Try many options and never give up on your vision. Some books will help you, some will not. Some people you will like and then fall out of out it and move on to others. Go with the flow. Keep on course and feel your way.

You create your own reality and you are in charge of it. It is up to you.

Not everyone can do this to the level I have, but you still can.

Employees at Target are allowed to put yellow tape around their office to signal to everyone that they wish not to be disturbed.

You can that or wear a hat that tells everyone not to talk to you.

Some companies in Japan allow employees to wear red sashes that easily let everyone know that they are thinking and being productive.

My partner and I have work usually in the same room when traveling. So, we just tell each other when we are about to go into deep think mode. I also usually put on some think music on my iPod Nano and jack in. Unless the building is on fire I’m out of touch.

So wear a hat or a sash or even yellow tape your office off. Get productive and enjoy your life.

The main character is very creative because he really is a kid. By the end of the movie he is bored and not creative anymore. He’s gotten tied up in being a “grown up” and lost his passion for fun. He’s looking at reports and stressing out.

He needs to be creative in order to excel at what he does, but he’s not into it anymore. The business has gotten to him.

Entrepreneurs are like kids. They are creative. They are passionate. If you are an entrepreneur and you lose that creative spark you have a problem. There are many people that can do “things”. Many are not good at being an entrepreneur because they like the “busy work”. Non entrepreneurs like reports, checking email and really wasting time.

Entrepreneurs, well successful entrepreneurs are not smarter than everyone else. Richard Branson didn’t know what “Net” meant recently. He hires people that know that very well.

Don’t worry if you’re smart enough to be an entrepreneur. You may want to ask yourself if you’re dumb enough. I’ve meet many unsuccessful entrepreneurs that are way too smart. They think they can do everything and do. And never get anything else done. I say be dumb and get stuff done. I use to do e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g, you name it. I couldn’t get everything done. And I was not successful. I was extremely busy and going broke fast. Not anymore. I focus on new items and use help to the upmost.

I’m getting way more done. I’m more relaxed even though my friends would say I was already way relaxed before.

I did another series of automation last summer for my two month trip to Europe. I recommend you do this every six to 12 months.

The “retreat” was so successful and fun that we have extended thru mid April.

I’m getting all the businesses to run without me while I travel. I’m looking at Sacre Coeur from an apartment (not a hotel) in Paris right now and business is going on as usual.

In a recent Mastermind Group meeting, it became apparent that some of the most successful people in the group actually work the least. This is something I’ve known for quite some time, but I needed to be reminded of it often.

There’s are many good reasons why business owners who work less make more, and I believe that this concept is even more applicable…

I can work from anywhere as long as I have Internet, which is almost everywhere.

Last week we went to Mont St. Michel just north of us here in France.

This is one place that I really loved.  Very magical.

It is entirely built on a big hill.  The medival streets are still intact.  Many tourist shops and restaurants.  We at one with a view of the surrounding sea and land.  Beautiful scenery.

The tide is very high here, nice fortress location in the old days.  You can actually see the tide come in so strong it makes waves in the areas that are protected by waves.  Impressive.  If you’re not careful you can get surrounded by water and get stuck.  Many people have died that way.

After dinner we hiked all the way to the top.  The French government took it over after the French Revolution so it not used as a religious place like it was in the old days.  But that night they have many people throughout the Mont playing flutes, violins, a Bassoon and a harp piano.  We wondered around the place from room to room listening to the music echo off the walls.  A truly magical night.  Definitely worth going to more than once.

Well, Carnac is an amazing place.  It has thousands of stones in strange formations.  Here were are in front of them.

They are dated older than Stonehenge and they number around 3000.  Strange thing is that on Google Earth the area with large stones (see photo to the left) are blacked out.  I thought only governments could do this due to national secrets.  What secret is being hidden here?

We then had lunch on the coast overlooking the ocean.  They had a kids play area with organized games.  I’ve never seen anything like it.  Kids playing and the parents sunning on the beach.  A great family vacation place with great energy.

I find many similarities between the USA and France.  We both had revolution to kick out the royals.  We are both a republic.  We both also have a president.

France is different though.  Unisex bathrooms are standard.  Topfree beaches is the norm.  Adultist movies on public TV that have -12 and -16 rating which is not advised for people under the age of 12 and 16 and includes full nudity does exist.  I don’t ever see that happening in the USA for another 250 years if ever.

My cousin Milena is touring the world for six months.  She was just in France (different parts then I’m in) and a pre-judgement of France.  The normal American attitude that the French smell, are rude and hate Americans.  She quickly found out how untrue all that is.  She visited Paris and people are very nice, don’t smell and love Americans.  The neighborhood here in Rennes threw us a 4th of July party.  The entire street came out to celebrate with us.  Incredible nice.  These neighbors are nicer than our own.

So to all my friends, home exchange neighbors and everyone in France.  Viva La France.  I feel very welcome here during our summer visit.  You have a wonderful country.  Thank you for the Statue of Liberty it was a mighty fine gift from our friends here in France.  And thank you so much for helping us out to get rid of the British royals during our own Revolution.

Viva La France.

Once we made it to the village out of the Cote de Granit Rose we stopped at a restaurant that our book said was the best around the area.  It had a fantastic view of the marina and the food was top notch.  Fantastic.  The sea bass with a local cider sauce was wonderful.  Great French wine to top it off.

Then we drove the last bit to Cote de Granit Rose.  I bought a French captain hat.  I love hats and always buy a hat to where I travel.  The we saw the rose granite coast.  Wow.  Beautiful.  Great formations and interesting shapes.  I did a photography project years ago about rocks and shot the Grand Canyon and other formations in Arizona and these rocks would fit in well with that project.

There was a lighthouse made of the local granite and I can see why they need a lighthouse.  Rocks everywhere and very windy.  Not friendly to boats.  It was kinda of cool and the local shop was selling swimsuits but how anyone can use them here I have no idea.

The drive back was much easier and took at least 2/3 of the time.  Only got lost once once we hit Rennes but recovered beautifully.

No crowds at all.  As you can see from this photo on one of the medival town streets.  There was also a castle and a Notre Dame church.  Didn’t know there were more than one but come to find out almost every town has one
